Eric Tie Bi nears Hull City move

Evian's defensive midfielder Eric Tie Bi will complete a transfer to Hull City for a fee of around £1 million. Steve Bruce made an offer for the player last Tuesday which has now been accepted.

As reported last week the midfielder is Steve Bruce's top priority for the transfer window. Eric progressed through the ranks into Evian's first team in 2010 after joining from Lyon and has since gone on to prove himself an important member of the first team.


Evian have already given Tie Bi permission to speak to Hull, who are set to offer the midfielder a three year contract.
